Hello Smith,

I could not download these papers because the wedsite must be with some problems. I didn't have access to the website.
Please, send me the attachment files of these articles.

Thanks in advance,

  Subject: Making money at rapid prototyping

  I find that many of those in rapid prototyping concentrate on the technology and sidestep the issue of just how a rapid prototype will improve their company's profitability. This is unwise, especially when the rapid prototyper is trying to convince the company to invest in a rapid prototyping capability. The boss mostly wants to know how this investment will pay off in a clear way.

  Three related papers are on our Website, all available for download:

  "The Business of Rapid Prototyping,"
  http://NewProductDynamics.com/articles.htm#RPBusiness

  "Leverage the Cycle-Time Capability of Your Rapid Prototypes,"

  http://NewProductDynamics.com/articles.htm#Leverage

  "Make Time-to-Market Technologies a Bottom-Line Issue,"
  http://NewProductDynamics.com/articles.htm#TTMTech

  A fourth paper in this series is slated for publication in the 9 March issue of Machine Design magazine. It will also be available afterward as a download.
